Two days ago I had an opportunity to take my 29-2 4" out of the safe for a quick video on my youtube channel.
Holding it in my hand I came to realize that, as a young but avid collector, the blued N-frame are the closest to perfectionism, especially with 3" - 4" barrel length.

Thus, I would like to share my collection with you.

That's a sweet collection, especially to be in Austria. That would be a hard collection to put together here in the States, much less in Europe. You could say I'm partial to the N frames too. :cool: Thanks for showing off.
 
Beautiful collection.

In my opinion, the N frame is the no-compromise ultimate revolver platform. They are small enough to handle well, but large enough to be comfortable to shoot even when loaded with magnums. I absolutely love mine and carry them far more often than my K/L frames.
 
I didn't notice a '57 or 58 in that bunch
Really hard to find decent S&W revolvers here in Europe, especially non-standard models. You can find the usual suspects like 19, 686, 14, etc. quite easily but the rest, ugh, years of hunting and waiting.

Ha, someone understands the agonizing pain of being a S&W collector in Vienna. :D Cheers buddy!

Nice collection, I started my S&W revolver collecting adventure with N-frames.

VERY nice indeed. My favorite. :D

I have 13 N frames. 2 M27, 3 M27-2, 1 M27-7, 1 .357 Magnum, 1 M28-2, 1 M29-2, 1 M57, 1 M58, 1 M520 and 1 M627-2.

My favorite shooter is my 6" 686 no dash

I like my s&w n frames and k frames that's it. But I love my ruger Redhawk. The 357 Redhawk is a beast.

N-frame love

helmsp, you have a beautiful selection there.

What are the grips on the 29 and the 625?

Thank you from another N frame lover.

Those are Nill grips, they are a Germany based company and quite famous here in Europe. You can check them out here:
Nill Griffe Shop
They are rather expensive though in comparison to companies on your side of the ocean like Altamon, Ahrends, etc.
 
I mostly go for 5 screw guns, so really don't have many N frames in the 1961-1980 range.

But here's two:

Mod. 520 (1980)

Mod. 22 (Late Shipper, 1963, IIRC)
